The grace (power) of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
communion (fellowship) of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Cor.
13:14)
To fellowship with the Holy Spirit means we talk often to Him. It means we hear back from Him in a two way dialogue. The majority of the dialogue with the Holy Spirit is initiated by us. We have to want it.
The spirit of Elijah operates with the prophetic whisper of God. God primarily leads us with small voice (whisper).
We’re born self-consumed. It takes effort to calm and quiet our souls, to connect with God. An over-active soul keeps us out of sync with the subtle movements of the Spirit. We quiet our soul to connect with the Spirit’s whisper in our heart.
When you’re talking to the Holy Spirit:
Speak affectionately,
Speak slowly and softly,
Speak briefly,
Minimally (listen twice as much as talking) with many pauses,
Praying with our spirit along with gently sighing
Gazing in silence
Journal – take time to record thoughts and prayers so as to capture the truths He gives us.

Five practical phrases to use in talking with the indwelling spirit
T: Thank you
“Thank you Holy Spirit, for Your bright presence in me. I love Your presence. Apart from connecting with You, I can do nothing that effectively (supernaturally) renews my love, sustains my zeal for righteousness, and releases revelation and power in my heart.”
He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Jn. 15:5)
R: Release revelation
Ask the Spirit to release abundant revelation of God’s heart, word and purposes to you.
God will choose the time and place for revelation.
U: Use me
Ask the Spirit to use you more and more in the spiritual gifts to minister to others. “Thank you Spirit, for releasing the manifestation of Your gifts and power through me to help others.”
You’ll receive more if you ask more.
S: Strengthen me
Ask the Spirit to strengthen your mind, emotions and speech with His might. His power is already in us. Therefore, pray “Thank you for the presence of Your love, peace, patience, and self-control in me” or “Thank you for warring against my flesh and guarding my speech.”
T: Teach me
Ask the Spirit to teach you about God’s will and ways that He may manifest His leadership in every issue in your life.
Ask that He establish God’s order in your home, job and ministry.
“Spirit, I love Your will and ways, therefore, manifest Your leadership in me.”
